I get it. He's a traitor. He's evil, and he should be in prison. The pitchforks are out and people want blood. I actually agree.

But to insinuate he's a mouth breathing idiot that doesn't know what LLMs or AI is, by ignoring the fact that he won prizes by solving problems that no one had solved before is just disingenuous. Oh, and that he solved it by creating his own ML models. But, yes he's a complete moron, and anyone could have won that prize right? Certainly seems that everyone in this thread could have done it.

I'm just saying that if he's smart enough do that, when no one else did, then I choose to believe he was asking a more specific question about if there's any fine-tuned LLMs specifically for ETL, and less about "durr what is ai? "

Yes, even if he wants to use this magic LLM to speed run the US in to fascism to get a headpat from Papa Elon, it does not mean he drools over his keyboard, can't figure out a microwave, and has no concepts of what's LLMs are (despite, you know, creating his own custom ml models for fun...) I can hate him and what he's doing and still be factual about his real accomplishments.
